"You should have told me sooner, coach. I could have called more fouls every times somebody got close to him. I could have called a couple of T's for people frowning at me. I could have given him 3 points instead of 2 when he was a foot inside the line. I'm sure I could have made something up while pushing the rules aside in order to help this player get the record. That is what you are asking me to do, isn't it?"

Don't take it personally, if I think this one, but don't say it out loud, okay?!?! ;)
